The core difference is what will be used as reference when running the validation
lets say you have an form object that spans 3 actions ( is shared by ) and all of them have validate = true in the struts-config.xml if you use ValidatorForm to then all of the validation rules you specify will be run. which may or may not be good.. if you use ValidatorActionForm then you can break up the validation rules into chuncks based on the action that was run. The only difference in the validation setup is wether your form entrie referes to the form object or the action. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
